      Yes, a very good thing indeed. Not too many folks get out to areas such as these. We were in a canoe when we found this place. Posted 11 years ago

The Red mangrove

"Rhizophora mangle", known as the red mangrove, is distributed in estuarine ecosystems throughout the tropics. Its viviparous "seeds," in actuality called propagules, become fully mature plants before dropping off the parent tree. These are dispersed by water until eventually embedding in the shallows.
